Inner life of hapu'u

It was time to trim the hapu'u in more than a "cut the fronds" kind of a way.  But according to the internet, source of all that is holy and true, it can be done by just cutting the growing stump. 

Who knew that this was what was hiding in the interior:

Cully making the hapu'u look good

Planting can be done with or without help and/or commentary.
